Description
Hardcore punk band that started in Youngstown, Ohio.
Our take: Very limited, self-released LP from this band out of Ohio. Gills base their sound on Negative Approachs oi!-tinged hardcore with rage-o-meter fully in the red, but Dried Clothes isnt all meat and potatoes. Gills location, along with the Nathan Ward artwork, brings to mind the Cruelster / Knowso axis of bands, and whether or not theres any actual connection there, Gills shares some of those bands quirkiness. The lyrics to Bird Rage (from what I can make out) have a surrealist bent, there are a few samples, and a bit of unexpected instrumentation occasionally peeks from behind the curtain. Those quirks might turn off purists, but in my book this is still a solid rager. The band only pressed 150 copies and theres hardly any info about Gills on the internet, though, so its up to you whether the mystery is enough to draw you in.
